All Unlockable Characters in Death Must Die, Listed

If you are deciding to start playing Death Must Die and are wondering what characters are available, look no further than this guide. Below is a list of all the playable characters in Death Must Die.

What Characters Are Available in Death Must Die

There are seven characters in Death Must Die that you can play with. You will start with one character and unlock others as you progress further. Below is the list of all the playable characters in Death Must Die:

Avoron – The Knight

The first playable character you will start the game with is Avaron, the knight. He is a melee weapon character equipped with a sword and heavy armor. His primary limitation lies in range, preventing him from eliminating distant foes.

Combat Strategies for Avaron

Optimizing Avaron’s effectiveness involves slashing through close-proximity enemies to exploit the hitbox’s range. Additionally, early-stage potential can be enhanced by using Krom’s boon Chains of War, creating a damaging rotating chain around the character. In boss fights, players can employ Merciful Strike, dealing substantial damage when leveled up.

Merris – The Sorceress

Merris is the second character you will unlock after the Knight. She is equipped with Light armor and performs mage attacks. Notably, she is the only character that can perform ranged attacks. This is great when enemies are at a distance, but when they surround her it becomes a lot harder to melee her way out.

Effective Merris Combat Strategies

Payers should leverage various boons from Gods such as Rampaging Strike, Lifelink, Chains of War, etc. Since her ranged attacks are unidirectional, using a boon like Sickles of Mort allows shooting multiple sickles in under two seconds to eliminate nearby enemies.

Additionally, employing the Lifelink boon enables draining enemies’ health while dashing, simultaneously healing Merris. It’s crucial to remember each boon has limitations, and leveling up enhances their effectiveness.

Nixi – The Assassin

Nixi is also a melee character that equips Light armor, but she is a more agile character with mobility as her primary stat. Despite wielding two knives, her attack range is surprisingly effective, capable of eliminating multiple enemies at once. However, her reliance on light armor necessitates swift evasions to counter potential threats.

Combat Strategies for Nixi

Leverage Nixi’s deadly attacks, enhanced by boons like Leigong’s Wrathful Strike for additional offensive power. As the game progresses, acquiring Mort’s Necromancy boon allows Nixi to summon skeletons as allies in battle.

Kront – The Barbarian

Kront is a Barbarian whose attacks deal AoE damage to the enemies around him. He is also tanky as compared to other characters because of the Heavy armor that he wears, that doesn’t decrease his speed. Kront wields both an axe and another deadly weapon, inflicting substantial damage with a base damage of 30+.

Combat Strategies for Kront

In the early game, Kront can benefit from unique boons offered by Lady Justice, providing options like Merciful Strike (+20% damage), Purification (+37% healing), and Reprisal (9% chance). Each boon enhances Kront’s combat effectiveness.

Skadi – The Warrior

Skadi is a warrior with stats resembling all the other characters. She equips Medium Armor and has a large melee attack, the same as Avoron.

Effective Combat Strategies for Skadi

Maintain distance from enemies, as her medium armor is inadequate for absorbing numerous hits. Enhance her devastating moves by combining native fighting skills with Summer’s boons, such as Vengeful Strike for increased damage.

As players progress, additional boons like Sickles of Mort and Breath of Fire become available, facilitating quicker monster elimination.
